[DNG] cron runs a ghost command
I find that user's cron runs a command defined in crontab -e some time ago but then removed. At present there is no command defined in $ crontab -e. Nevertheless cron runs the old command one on schedule. I should add the the old command is no longer val;lid (it points to a non-existent directory). Is cron designed to retry failed commands? If so how do I get it to stap? My problem arise when I want a user run a command to /media/daily. But I could not create the daily directory owned by user. Something to do with group. I was able to change owner of /media/crom to user for some reason. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
